Dust problem?

I've had my PC for around 5 months now, and every month or so I open it up and remove the dust. The problem is I think it's quite a lot of dust build up for one month. My house is always dusty, even if every week its cleaned :/. I was hoping if anyone has any good tips/products to help with the dust issue? I use the the S340 with and the case fans it came with, and the two filters that came with it.

 

 

Thank you!

Holy crap you have the same problem as me. My house doesn't look dusty but every time I clean it, it is dusty again within a few days, I have the S340

Honestly, your best bet is to get new filters. It doesn;t look like the S340 comes with replaceable filters, just the metal "filters" built into the case. If that is true you can mod the case to fit something that resembles the mesh they use on screen doors. I might take a stroll down to my local PC shop and see what they have. Otherwise, get a new case or a air compressor.

Thank you!

Here's my Pentium D rig, I want it to look as ghetto as possible. It is still very good though, I have a fan cooling the PCI and PCI-E cards with the hard drives outside my case for good temps.

Positive air pressure and filters. There isn't anything else. Some dust will always go in.
